Chapter 256 Phone call, who, big trouble
“Beep—beep—”
The phone vibrated beside the pillow. Xie Qingyu frowned slightly and subconsciously buried his face deeper into the quilt.
I've been busy promoting my new album and the pile of personal announcements lately, and I almost couldn't catch my breath. I finally got a good night's sleep, and I don't know who called.
For those in this circle, silencing the phone is a big taboo, but the friends and contacts in the address book will never call you early in the morning or late at night unless it is extremely urgent.
If it wasn't an acquaintance, then it could only be—
He forced his eyelids open and reached for his phone. A string of unfamiliar numbers flickered glaringly on the screen.
here we go again.
Xie Qingyu sighed silently. This number had just been changed not long ago, how come it was dug out again?
The person on the other end seemed impatient. After the call was hung up, a text message came in, with Kauri characters clearly displayed on the screen:
【This is Quan Junxi, answer the phone. 】
Quan Junxi? Who?
His chaotic brain tried to retrieve this familiar name, but fatigue surged over him like a tide, and his eyelids drooped as he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
“Beep—beep—”
The phone kept ringing again.
Xie Qingyu took a deep breath, and the moment his thumb slid open the answer button, a series of aggressive Korean words exploded from the receiver.
Ask him why he didn't answer the phone, where he is now, and whether he knows it's rude to leave others alone...
ha.
Although lack of sleep caused his brain to work slowly, Xie Qingyu remembered it clearly.
The only interaction between me and this person was the dance challenge at the first stop of the group variety show.
At that time, the opponent lost to my General Fang Jian, and before leaving, they just glanced at each other across the crowd.
So they are familiar with each other?
The righteous and intimate tone on the other end of the phone made Xie Qingyu's eyes, which were almost sleepy and could hardly open, bend.
It’s really interesting and funny!
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu asked directly. Because he had not been exposed to the Kaori language for a long time, his not very fluent language system suddenly awakened, and he interrupted the opponent's spell with a sentence "Are we familiar with each other?"
The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, with only the vague voice in the background reminding him that the call was still going on.
After waiting for a moment, Xie Qingyu said lazily: "If you don't say anything, I'll hang up?"
To be honest, Xie Qingyu was not in a very good mood at the moment. The time displayed on the top of the mobile phone screen was just a little after six.
He was afraid of being unhappy, as the bad elements in his character would emerge uncontrollably.
"Don't hang up!"
Quan Junxi hurriedly called out to him, his tone suddenly softening, "I'm at the Beijing International Airport... I know you're also in Beijing, can you come pick me up?"
Without waiting for a response, he hastily added, "I'm alone and scared! Please!"
Xie Qingyu propped himself up and leaned against the headboard, his temples throbbing.
Regardless of whether the "fear" is real or fake, it is troublesome for a minor to travel across borders alone in any country. But this person not only came here with all the necessary documents, but only thought of being afraid after landing?
Not only did they get his new number, but they also had precise control of his itinerary.
This is so well prepared that it's even more professional than a private life.
Now he is required to pick her up at the airport?
This routine is so convoluted that it is even more dazzling than the champion moves in international yo-yo competitions.
"Can I? Please..."
Seeing that he remained silent, Quan Junxi suddenly changed his strategy, his voice trembling deliberately, "My phone is almost out of battery, and I don't speak Chinese..."
The tone was just right, showing the boy's helplessness and pleading vividly, as if he was really a lost lamb that had strayed into a foreign country.
Xie Qingyu really didn't want to take over this little wolf cub who was obviously a big trouble.
But then he thought, the other party must have called him as soon as he landed. If something went wrong with an underage popular idol in a foreign country, the subsequent troubles would definitely be terrifying.
"Now find a shop that's open and wait there," he pressed his brow, his voice still hoarse from sleep, "Are you wearing any disguise?"
If this young master dares to walk around the airport with his face bare, hoping to be recognized, then he won't tolerate it. This kind of behavior shows that there is something wrong with his brain, so it's better to stay away from him as soon as possible.
Xie Qingyu couldn't afford the honor of being on the headlines of social news.
"Inside."
Fortunately, the other party was not impulsive and still knew what was right and wrong.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Qingyu resigned himself to his fate and got up, washed, and dressed, ready to pack up this hot potato and send it away quickly to prevent it from causing harm to the world.
——
Quan Junxi sat in front of the coffee shop with his suitcase arrogantly placed at his feet. He no longer looked as pitiful as he did on the phone.
Xie Qingyu was wrapped up tightly, and from a distance she could see the giant Buddha slumped lifelessly on a chair in front of someone's store door.
His baseball cap was pulled down low, the mask covered most of his face, his arms were folded, and there were seven or eight cups of coffee lined up in front of him, but he didn't take a sip.
The clerk glanced over here from time to time, obviously impressed by this strange guy who placed a large order using a translator.
"Why order so much?" Xie Qingyu stood in front of him and asked.
Quan Junxi's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he stood up quickly: "You are too slow..."
Her voice softened instantly. "I was afraid they'd think I was poor and take advantage of me, and kick me out, so I ordered more..."
The dead look on his face as he stared at me was truly eye-watering.
As if he was sure that Xie Qingyu would fall for it, he started pretending again.
If Xie Qingyu hadn't seen the wildness in this man's bones at first sight in Coria, he would have almost believed it.
What a pity, his group has a genuine innocent puppy, and even if he is not very good at seeing, he can't tell the difference.
Wolves are creatures that are very ruthless when they bite.
Especially these half-grown wolf cubs, they are full of arrogance. They can play with you one moment, but turn their backs on you the next moment.
What’s more troublesome is that they are always trying to get more than they deserve.
Xie Qingyu naturally would not treat Quan Junxi in the same way as she treated Leo.
The more you indulge this kind of character, the more the other party will test your bottom line and see how far you can retreat.
"Let's go." Xie Qingyu motioned him to follow without turning back.
Quan Junxi immediately dragged his suitcase and trotted excitedly, "Where are we going?"
"Buy a plane ticket," Xie Qingyu continued, "I'll take you back home."
The footsteps behind me stopped abruptly.
When he turned around, he saw the young man nailed to the spot.
Even though the mask covered most of his face and the brim of his hat was pulled down low, the gloomy aura could not be suppressed.
When the other person slowly raised his head and their eyes met his, the aggression in his eyes almost became tangible.
"You want to kick me out?"
This is really ridiculous. How can you "drive away" someone who comes uninvited?
Xie Qingyu originally thought that a little provocation would make the other party stop his artificial performance, but unexpectedly, Quan Junxi took two deep breaths and actually slowed down.
I just timidly grabbed his sleeve and shook it gently: "Brother, don't chase me away, I will listen to you~"
Xie Qingyu looked at the clumsy look in his eyes as he tried hard to pretend to be afraid of loss, and sighed in his heart.
Forget it, why bother arguing with him?
Since he wants to act, just accompany him to satisfy his acting craving. When he gets tired of it, he will naturally stop.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Noticing Xie Qingyu's tone softening, Quan Junxi acted even more enthusiastically: "Not yet..."
"Let's go eat something first," Xie Qingyu turned and walked towards the parking lot, "and then I'll think about where to take you."
"Listen to me!"
The corners of Quan Junxi's mouth curled up proudly under his mask. The more he called him "brother", the smoother it became.
——
"Hmm...it's really delicious! Do you want to try it too, brother?"
Quan Junxi swept the tea and snacks on the table left and right, and greeted Xie Qingyu warmly from time to time. He looked so familiar with her, as if he was the host.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a private room in the Cantonese teahouse chosen by Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu didn't have much of an appetite. He simply moved his chopsticks a few times and then slowly sipped the amber Pu'er tea.
The steaming tea mist blurred his eyebrows and eyes, but made his voice seem especially clear:
"Why are you coming here alone?"
Quan Junxi paused with his chopsticks picking up the shrimp dumplings and smiled bitterly: "I just wanted to come and see... but when I landed, I found that I didn't know any friends here..."
Pretend. Keep pretending!
Xie Qingyu has no patience for dishonest children.
"Well, you've seen it, now are you buying a plane ticket back?"
Quan Junxi suddenly put down his chopsticks.
The porcelain spoon made a crisp sound when it hit the bone plate.
The moment he raised his eyes, his previous obedience disappeared, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile:
"Brother, do you have to treat me like this?"
We have done our homework and are of similar age, so why are we treated differently?
It's really... frustrating~
Xie Qingyu tilted her head in confusion, turning the teacup gently between her fingers: "What did I do to you?"
His Kauri language was still punctuated by awkward pauses. "You call me brother, but you speak in plain language. Junxi, why is that?"
Although the sentence was spoken haltingly, it was clear enough for the other party to understand.
Quan Junxi did understand, and he curved his eyes and smiled, "If you want me to use honorifics, of course I can. I said I will listen to you. So, please don't be so cold to me, okay?"
After putting down the teacup, Xie Qingyu sighed softly: "At least speak nicely."
Given the current situation, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get rid of this little wolf cub in a short time.
But it was a coincidence. If he had come a day earlier, he wouldn't even have the time to deal with it.
"But isn't this how hyung gets along with his teammates?" Kwon Jun-hee suddenly asked back.
He also did a lot of research on how these people get along with each other, and even watched the ones during the draft period.
Xie Qingyu is not the favorite in the team, but he is definitely the core anchor position, so in a sense, this time he went straight to the other party.
"Are you my teammate?" Xie Qingyu hit back with a straight shot.
The way he gets along with his teammates is a natural product of each person's unique personality.
It has never been a fixed template, nor is it a formula that can be applied casually.
Quan Junxi's eyes flashed.
Remembering Xie Qingyu's advice not to waste anything, he lowered his head and ate up all the remaining snacks.
As he stood up dragging his suitcase, his voice softened:
"Let's go... I know brother still wants to get rid of me."
The boy's fingertips curled slightly, "But at least, can you be a little more tolerant?"
"Just a little bit, okay?"
The tone was surprisingly sincere.
But Xie Qingyu really wanted to say that he didn't want to be tolerant, he wanted to catch up on sleep (bushi)
He shook his head helplessly, and uttered a low "hmm" as he stood up. When the other party heard it, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing his pointed little fangs.
